Regretting the Marriage

Everyone knew that Cui Xiao did not love his wife, Xue Zhiran.

When Cui Xiao was at the end of his rope, Xue Zhiran used her influence to force him to marry her. After their wedding, she continued carrying on with her cousin, causing chaos for both families.

Later, Xue Zhiran's family fell into decline.

She gradually curbed her temper, stopped ordering Cui Xiao around, and cut ties with her cousin.

Cui Xiao thought that perhaps things would be fine if they went on like this.

Despite their incompatible temperaments, the two had managed to support each other for a time.

Cui Xiao studied diligently to avenge his family across generations.

After passing the imperial examinations, he needed a wife who could help him advance.

There had been no shortage of people offering their daughters during this time, and Xue Zhiran tactfully suggested a divorce.

After hesitating for a long while, Cui Xiao signed the divorce papers and used all his rewards to buy a new residence in the capital as a gift for Xue Zhiran.

On the surface, they had nothing to do with each other from then on.

*

A little over a month later, Cui Xiao finally held real power, yet he was still all alone.

As usual, he entered the room where Xue Zhiran had once lived, only for his subordinate to bring him a secret letter.

Xue Zhiran had been outrageously bold: she had sold the new residence and eloped with her lover, taking a huge fortune with her!

Furious, Cui Xiao led his troops in pursuit. He discovered that Xue Zhiran's lover was none other than his closest classmate...

One-on-one romance. Both leads are chaste in body and heart.

The heroine does not cheat, and the hero does not take another wife.
